One might say that it was El Prado who put turf racing back on the map.
In that one 2001 crop, El Prado sired Kitten's Joy, Artie Schiller, and the superior if inconsistent Timo to dominate the turf division.
Singlehandedly sired the best NA turf division since Lure, Paradise Creek, Star of Cozzene in the early '90s. Actually Riverman and his son Irish River were responsible for many a turf star both in NA and Europe. Danzig was no slouch either when it came to siring turf horses (in addition to his prowess on dirt).
